SSL Redirect Loop when public $force_ssl='2'; was created by cliffkujala

Hello,

I'm having problems using force_ssl to apply SSL requirement to the entire site. The problem I believe stems from some table data in the database that is still referencing the old site, and then the new config that tells the site to redirect all calls to the old site to the new site. The problem does not exist in the admin portion of Joomla, only on the front.

I found some references in the database tables jfbconnec_config that pointed to the old IP address. Updated those to the new hostname, but still the problem exists.

PS - I'm actively testing solutions, so when you go there, it may be down, up, or completely upside down.

JFBConnect stores some basic information about your site for configuring your Facebook Application. That information isn't used during standard page loads though. If you're having issues with SSL loops by just browsing your site, that wouldn't be caused by JFBConnect.

I'd recommend turning off caching and SEF URLs to see if the problem persists. My guess is that there's a redirect setup somewhere to force the user back to non-https.. and then Joomla redirects them back to https.. and then the loop starts.

I hope that helps explain a little more. We'll gladly help however we can, but I don't think there's much JFBConnect can be doing *unless* you're only seeing the loop when you try to authenticate or something. You can always disable all of the JFBConnect plugins and test.. which will eliminate JFBConnect from the equation as well.
